Did we all forget the Mac OS has never allowed multiple instances of
an application? Windows always has and it was probably easy to build
on top of this "functionality"
cocoa CAN run multiple instances of a single app using different
users. but imagine if a user was running First Class or Fizzila and
fast-switched. It would make it impossible for another user to use
these apps.

How, when Mac OS X logs out, it quits all the apps. Couldn't they
just not do that? It seems the underlying Unix/BSD system wouldn't
care that the other apps are running right? So really it is just a
matter of adding a couple buttons to the "Are you sure you want to
log out?" dialog. Instead the dialog could say: "Would you like to
keep the running apps active?" with "Yes", "No" or "Cancel". This
would provide the same safety net mechanism of the current dialog
and would allow for the speed of logout because it wouldn't have to
waste any time quitting applications.
